Biotin anti-mouse IgG1 (Cat. No. 406604) (black circles) binds to immobilized recombinant mouse FcγRIII (CD16) (Cat. No. 790104). Ultra-LEAF™ purified anti-mouse CD16 (clone W20015B) (purple squares) inhibits the binding in a dose-dependent manner whereas the purified rat IgG2b, λ isotype control (Cat. No. 403801) (gray triangles) does not have the effect. This antibody blocks the binding of 11 µg/mL biotin anti-mouse IgG1 to 5 µg/mL immobilized recombinant mouse FcγRIII (CD16). ND50 range: 0.02 - 0.15 µg/mL

CD16, also known as FcγRIII, is a low affinity IgG Fc receptor for a broad range of different isotypes. It primarily exists as two distinct forms: FcγRIIIA/CD16a and FcγRIIIB/CD16b, which are encoded by two nearly identical genes in humans. The expression of the two isoforms is tissue-specific. FcγRIIIA is a 50-65 kD type I transmembrane protein that is expressed on the surface of NK cells, activated monocytes, macrophages, and placental trophoblasts in humans. FcγRIIIB is a 48 kD GPI-anchored protein. Its extracellular domain is over 95% homologous to that of FcγRIIIA, and it is expressed specifically on neutrophils. FcγRIIIA can bind aggregated IgG or IgG-antigen complex which functions in NK cell activation, phagocytosis, and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Several studies indicated that the post-translational modifications of FcγRIIIA or IgG regulate FcγRIIIA-mediated functions. The glycosylation of FcγRIIIA is mandatory for high affinity binding to Fc. Additionally, lack of fucosylation of Fc glycans dramatically enhance ADCC by improving the binding of FcγRIIIA and IgG. It has been reported that the polymorphism (F176V) showed a greater binding capacity to IgG, leading to increasing antibody-dependent NK cell cytotoxicity and susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. The missense mutation (L66H) causes immunodeficiency 20 disease (IMD20). FcγRIIIA associates with γ and zeta chains of T-cell antigen receptor complex (CD3:TCR) and FcεRIγ on human NK cells, suggesting involvement of distinct signal-transducing function.
